Treatment OF Liver Complaints.

According to Murchison, q careful
regulation Of the diet will do more for
one who 10 afflicted with a liver trouble
than all medicine. The foods to b.
avoided are the fatty, the saccharine
aud the highly seasoned.
Corn, oats, wheat, sage, rice, and
potatoes consist largely Of starch,
which, in the process Of digestion, is
converted into sugar. In severe cases
these and kindred substances must be
given up.
As most people would find it ex-
ceedingly difficult long to dispense with
the use of wheat bread, gluten may be
substituted for it; that ID, bread made
of wheat from which about two-thirds
Of the starch has been removed. The
diet should absolutely exclude clear fat
and sugar.
The quantity of the food is consider
alton hardly second to the quality. Too
much food, of Whatever kind, must be
strictly guarded against
The liver is injuriously affected by
alcoholic liquors generally. These
beverages are to be rigidly prohibited,
especially malt liquors, port wine and
champagne. One would not have sup
posed beer to be worse than brandy,
but il is much worse.
Next to regulating the diet is secur-
ing an abundance Of fresh air-sen air
is especially helpful in liver difficulties
and a sutficiency Of vigorous exercise.
The action OF the skin should be kept
up by frequently bathing the body with
warm water and soap.
It is also beneficial to drink half q
pint of cold water, or water with q little
soda in it, or going to bed, and while
dressing in the morning.
Liver diseases are, however, 90 diff
cult and refractory that it is peculiarly
necessary to call in the services Of q
good physician ~ Boon Is tho complaint
has declared itself.
Too many persons are inclined ct
once 10 begin dosing. supposing that
they are bilious" The incautious and
unwise use Of medicine ct such . time
may fasten . chronic disease upon one
who might have been permanently
cured in . few days by proper trcat-
menk-C0mpGni0n.

Something About Corkscrews,

There seems to be nothing to say
about q corkscrew. The corkscrew is
ubiquitous and necessitous, but who
ever stops to think Of anything about
the history or character Of the cork ex-
tractor? Yet there is really an inter
esting article to be written about
the little instrument. There are miles
OF corkscrews made every year. Yes,
aud a good many millions. It isn't
generally known that the corkscrew is
made in largest quantities in Newark,
Jerseys metropolis; yet such is the
case. There is one firm in Newark
that beats the world at making and
selling corkscrews. I got my informa-
tion about the little utensil from one of
the Arm. 1t is q startling tale he told,
and If it wasn't that he had the figures
to back what he said, I should have
thought his story was " crooked as the
wire On the cork extractor he makes.
In round numbers there were 15O, co.,
600 corkscrews made by this one
Newark firm last year, or corkscrews
enough for nearly every voter on the
globe. II the corkscrews, which aver
age three inches in length, that were
made during the year 1886 could have
been laid length to length, they would
have reached from New York to San
Francisco and then spanned the broad
Pacific and touched the shores of
Japan. That will give some idea
OF the number. II all these screws
could have been melted into one big
screw, some Colossus could have pulled
the cork from the surface Of the earth
and set the geyser spouting and the
volcanoes erupting from the interior of
the globe. But this was only one firm,
although the largest, it is true. Could
all the c0rkscrews made last year be
known there must have been enough
m inufactured to supply nearly every
man, woman aud child on this mundane
sphere with one. To make the 10000

enty-ive men simply for the twisting
Of the screws, to Say nothing Of the

three or four varieties were required,
but there are about forty varieties on
the market

FreemOnt's WOOley Horse.

An old story is thus recalled by the
Philadelphia Record: It seems that
after Lieut.. Fremont had first an
nounced his discoveries in the great
West, a Philadelphia Snowman of q
speculative turn, undertook to exploit
Fremont's discoveries, and at the same
time make o little money for himself.
So he came to Washington, and, hiring
q shop On the avenue, proceeded to ex-
hibit "Lieut. Freemont's wooley horse,
captured by the gallant explorde in the
very heart of the Rocky mountains at
the risk of his life" OF coarse, it was
only an ordinary, everyday horse,
with patches of wool stuck on. But it
took, and the Snowman began to make
money on it. One fine day, Senator
Benton, Fremont's father-in-law, heard
of the humbug, and started out, VOW
ing to drive it out of town before even
ing. Taking a brother senator with
him he marched at once on the enemy's
shop. The Snowman, who was stand
ing outside the door, and who knew
him perfectly we'll. had the impudence
to go right on with his lecture. He
even went so far as to say to the
crowd: "Here is Lieut.. Fremont's
father-in-law, Senator Benton. Won't
you walk in, Senator. and take your
friend with you? 1t won't cost you .
cent"
"Come inside" said Benton, sternly.
handing him 81 and striding in with
his friend, where is the animal?"
Here he is" said the Snowman, be-
ginning at the beginning Of his lecture
again.
"Stop!" said Benton, in q tone that
had often made the Senate chamber
ring, If you don't take that fraud out
of this town before dark I'll make you
wish you had never been born"
The impudence of the man was
frightened out of him by Benton's Sc
verify and earnestness.
"I1l CO." he said, and went that
evening.

A Girl,S

One of the worst illustrations of total de-
pravity in a child was recently exhibited
in q school in this city. Two girls who
roomed together had q disagreement one day
and one of them carried her spite 10 bed
with her. That night she got up while her
companion slept, and, taking a pa r of
scissors, clipped every particle of hair from
the head Of thu other girl. 1t was the
meanest piece Of revenge on record.-St.

The ''Boodlers" Want Such Jurymen.

South African juries are not always very
wise. A girl was charged ut the Riversdale
circuit court with admin STEERING poison to

Recently at certain college exami-
nation certain professor determined
that he would make it impossible for
any copying to take place under his
supervision. Accordingly he kept a
sharp watch upon the candidates. At
last he noticed a man look from side
TO side to satisfy himself that no one
observed him, plunge his hand into his
breast pocket, and, drawing something
out, regard it long and steadfastly,
and. then, hastily replacing it, resume
his pen and write with obviously in
creased energy. The professor sue
ceeded in getting behind the man nn-
perceived. and then, waiting until he
was repeating the suspicious action,
he sprang forward seized the hand IN
the very act OF gras ping the suspected
object. Sir. said he. ..this is the
fourth time have watched you do
ing this. What have you in your
lland . The man hesitated to reply.
and this, coupled with his evident
eonfus ion, confirmed the professors
suspicious. Il must insist, sir, on
eeing what it is yor have in your
hand. The man reluctatly complied,

revealed the source OF his inspiration

icacies OF color that cannot be perfect
lY given for they depend on some un-
discoverabie peculiarities OF molecular
arrangement. and not on chemical
composition; but the persons who
buy the stones know nothing OF that.
Yet Sidot, p French chemist, has near
ly reproduced these peculiarities, in
Guiding the dichroism of the sapphire,
with a composition of which the base
is phosphate OF lime. Two other
French chemists, Frenzy and Fell,
have produced rubies and sapphires
having the same composition with the
genuine stones and nearly equal hard
ness.
